Ten days later, a major incident broke out in the Hong Kong business community, when Li Ka-shing acquired 20% of the shares controlled by Phantom with 10% of the shares of Hutchison and 13.5 billion Hong Kong dollars. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 Countless economists have struggled to analyze what this means......

In fact, even blind people can see that this is actually Li Ka-shing and Xiao Ran swapping their holdings. They both retain at least 15% of the shares of Hutchison or Wheelock, so the relationship of interests indirectly forms a situation in which the Cheung Wo system and the Phantom department join forces.

It doesn't matter to Xiao Ran what the outside world speculates, he himself has no idea of joining hands with Li Ka-shing, he just takes what he needs. With Hutchison, it means that the track of telecommunications can be initially paved, so that the entertainment and media empire conceived by Xiao Ran can surface step by step with a more perfect attitude.

At present, there are quite a number of subsidiaries and holding companies with Phantom as the flagship, and after the battle with Ericsson, the company in charge of business and other aspects after the spin-off and reorganization of Power has already successfully acquired Nokia. In the British and American markets, the same spin-off subsidiaries successfully acquired several telecommunications and mobile companies.

On the online side, Phantom also founded a company and controlled 40 percent of the future Yahoo shares, only to sell Yahoo shares when they reached their peak, so as to make a lot of money. The only thing that is still lacking may be the game, Xiao Ran brought Wei Dongling to talk, who knew that this guy also had the same idea.

It's a no-brainer, and gaming has always been an integral part of entertainment. The Phantom would be a bit stupid if he didn't know how to use the characters of classic movies to make a game, or adapt a game into a movie. immediately made a decision with Xiao Ran, and in Xiao Ran's memories, he decided to acquire game studios such as Blizzard to further improve this entertainment media empire.

What's missing? Xiao Ran thought quietly, his composition was basically perfected. Whether it is traditional media, TV media, or online media, he is fully prepared. While this high-speed, cross-industry expansion may seem dangerous on the surface, Xiao Ran is absolutely certain that it was the right and wise decision.

What's missing? Xiao Ran thought quietly for a while, maybe what was still lacking was the audio-visual equipment. After studying it with Wei Dongling, he decided to negotiate with Sony to win this damn DVD.

DVD players and related equipment are all very important links. It's just that Sony is obviously unlikely to sell this thing like this, and although the Phantom has set up two major scientific research laboratories and hired a lot of scientists, if it wants to study this thing, it may not be able to compete with Sony.

Originally, Wei Dongling didn't understand it very well, because the so-called DVD was still a very nihilistic thing, but the VCD was really in the hands of the phantom. In just half a year, the Phantom Company has invested at least 500 million yuan in Southeast Asia to promote, and if it wins the DVD, it will mean that the previous investment has been in vain.

But Xiao Ran clearly told Wei Dongling that DVDs are not things that can be popular in the short term, and they are not something that can be developed in the short term. VCDs have been a fairly mainstream market for at least five or six years, at least in China.

Finally, it was decided to take karaoke equity and cash to buy Sony's lab, including contracts for those researchers. In fact, karaoke is not unprofitable, although the profits of this thing have gradually decreased over the past few years, it can still make at least $400 million in profits for the Phantom every year.

It's just that this thing always needs to spend a lot of money on the research of follow-up products every year, which is the reason why the market value is not high, and Xiao Ran knows very well that karaoke basically has no market in the West, and basically does not do anything to promote it in the West. However, they themselves are different, they have vigorously promoted this thing in the West in history, but they have been snubbed and naturally do not need to mention.

And Xiao Ran did not plan to give all the equity of karaoke to Sony, his bottom line is 30% of the equity of karaoke, plus 300 million US dollars in cash, he believes that Sony, which "sees the Western market", will never refuse such generous conditions.

After a busy day and a few more deals, Xiao Ran made time to meet Huang Qun in the afternoon. went to the hotel to pick up Huang Qun out, and on the street, Xiao Ran told Sunshine to stop the car. In fact, Sunshine and Monkey are already married, so now Xiao Ran's personal bodyguards have increased to six, protecting him in three shifts.

Of course, Lin Qingxia also has female bodyguards by her side, Xiao Ran doesn't want the kidnapping to happen again, especially now that he has become the richest man in China, I don't know how many people want to beat him. Interestingly, when he thought of kidnapping, he immediately thought of Zhang Ziqiang, the famous king of thieves, and he wondered if this king of thieves would come to kidnap him after he came out in the future.

"Hong Kong really deserves to be one of the international financial metropolises, it is really prosperous, but it is all high-rise buildings, which makes it feel very cold and impersonal!" Huang Qun sighed that he also came to Hong Kong a few years ago, which is different from today's prosperity.

Siu Ran smiled lightly, he felt that Hong Kong's development in the early 90s was like the infrastructure boom in the mainland in the late 90s. If this were not the case, how could Chengji Infrastructure develop so fast.

Looking at Huang Qun, Xiao Ran's expression was very interesting: "It's not impersonal, it's just that it's invisible under the cover of high-rise buildings." When you are able to integrate into the world, you will find that there are many things that you are passionate about. ”

"Maybe it's good, but unfortunately we won't be able to blend in in the short term." Huang Qun stared at Xiao Ran meaningfully, and then smiled interestingly: "Xiao Ran, you are a very strange person. It's funny how many of the other rich people are Rolls-Royce, but you're always a BMW. ”

Xiao Ran couldn't help but rub his nose, he suddenly felt that his nose was a little itchy, and the sequelae of being punched by Yang Qi sometimes really bothered him. Rolls-Royce looks too rich and intimidating, and BMW just makes people feel a kind of frankness and sincerity.

Huang Qun called to the sun to stop, and the sun was a little embarrassed, because it couldn't be parked here. Xiao Ran waved his hand to the sun, signaling that it was okay. Huang Qun stared at the Bank of China Building in the distance, which was a very bold and iconic building: "I have always thought that the Bank of China Building is not a big deal, but now I have found out that different locations will have different discoveries!" ”

Xiao Ran smiled faintly, what Huang Qun's discovery was, he didn't want to know, because he vaguely knew what it was. At this moment, two patrol officers came over with pens and seemed to have found the illegal car and were going to issue a ticket.

One of the young patrol officers, who seemed to be quite experienced, suddenly had a familiar feeling when he saw the license plate number, but he couldn't remember where he had seen it. Another young man, apparently a new police officer, came up and knocked on the window, made a gesture to roll it down, and then said, "Take your driver's license......

The young man was stunned, because he saw the idols of all the young people in Hong Kong inside, and they were indeed idols. How can a person who has become the richest man in China before the age of 30, and who is also extremely artistically gifted, not become an idol.

Naturally, the words couldn't go on, and the experienced young man saw that this guy was stunned, so he hurriedly stepped forward to take a look, and immediately froze: "Mr. Xiao, why are you?" Now he remembered that this familiar license plate number was Xiao Ran's car, and he had been instructed to pay attention to it.

"It's okay, we violated the rules, you just fine, Hong Kong is a legal society!" Xiao Ran smiled lightly, and didn't even glance at Huang Qun. He didn't say this to the police, but to Huang Qun.

Huang Qun smiled slightly, he naturally heard what Xiao Ran meant. However, he was not surprised by this, but surprised that the experienced police officer gave Xiao Ran a special salute after issuing a ticket.

"Why is that?" Huang Qun doesn't understand that saluting the traffic police in the mainland is a kind of civilized courtesy, but there seems to be no such rule in Hong Kong.

"Maybe it's because I've donated a lot of money to the police in the past few years!" Xiao Ran smiled faintly, he and the Phantom did donate a lot of money to the police, but this was obviously not enough for the police to salute so respectfully.

Xiao Ran thought of the declining underworld, it is said that the power of the Xiang family in history is very great, and no one dares to say a bad word about the Xiang family. He suddenly felt that he was a bit like this Xiang family, would he be a bit like a villain. However, he also knows that he now has a pivotal position in Hong Kong's political and business circles, and if he wants to, it may not be difficult to cover the sky with one hand.

The next thing was much simpler, Xiao Ran and Huang Qun came to the mall while talking about business, and then got out of the car. The shape of this building is quite weird, maybe it can't be said to be weird, it can only be said to be unique and peculiar, and it is very interesting.

Huang Qun glanced up and sighed a few times. Xiao Ran smiled lightly: "This is made by Chengji Infrastructure, which is owned by Power, and it feels very good!" ”

As early as early 1992, Power underwent a spin-off and restructuring to become a flagship of real estate and infrastructure, as well as other hotels. In terms of electronics and telecommunications, another flagship company directly controlled by Phantom has also been restructured to manage it. In this way, an efficient and modern system has been formed in the management of the group.

In the mall, Huang Qun picked a great piece of jade, but when he asked the price, he was stunned. The monkey couldn't stop snickering on the side, just because a deputy minister of culture also wants to buy things in this kind of place, it is better to go to Mong Kok, where the stalls are more suitable.

Under the gaze of the waiter, Huang Qun couldn't help but feel embarrassed, and he couldn't imagine that the minister-level figure of a dignified country couldn't even afford a gift. Xiao Ran thought about it for a while, and vaguely guessed that Huang Qun was planning to buy a gift for Xiao Ling'er, and immediately stopped: "Old Huang, you don't need to be so polite, Xiao Ling'er can't wear so many gifts around her neck!" ”

"This can't work, no matter what I say, it's her godfather, what kind of words are there without gifts!" Huang Qun shook his head depressedly, Xiao Ran chuckled and ordered someone to wrap up the piece of jade, handed over the credit card, and then said with a smile: "Not next time, you can bring her something special next time you come, but you don't need something too valuable!" ”

took the packaged jade, Xiao Ran stuffed it in Huang Qun's hand: "This is a gift for my niece, don't refuse, this is actually not a valuable item, many people can afford it, just because the prices here are different from those in the mainland!" ”

After Xiao Ran persuaded him to throw it away, Huang Qun hesitated for a moment, and finally followed. After going out, Huang Qun said with deep feelings: "I didn't expect the gap to be really that big, but fortunately, the British want to leave Hong Kong behind!" ”

"That's not necessarily, if it were me, I wouldn't be willing to give such a lucrative business to others." Xiao Ran smiled faintly, the financial aid given to Debao and Tianluo at the beginning looked stupid. However, billions of funds have been raised to the present, and a lot of dividends can be obtained every year alone, and he has always controlled 20 of the shares, and later invested in Lei Kaitai, and so on, if he indirectly controls three companies.

Now these three companies have also made a lot of money in other industries, and their assets have gradually swelled to more than 10 billion. According to this calculation, Xiao Ran's original investment was actually absolutely profitable. Don't ignore it, in the past few years, the Phantom has cut off the threat from the rear and has developed at full speed, this time is something that no money can buy, otherwise why do you think Xiao Ran is so stupid as to send money to a few companies, otherwise why do you think Pan Disheng and Yang Qi hesitated for a long time in the first place!

Huang Qun was slightly surprised, and glanced at Xiao Ran with slanted eyes. He didn't think about such an idea, mainly because he didn't have much intersection with Hong Kong before. Xiao Ran suddenly smiled coldly, pointed to the bustling street outside the window and said, "If I were British, I would send a politician who can only do right and wrong to come over and increase the salary of civil servants severely." Moreover, the power of the political axe is used to speculate land and housing prices to the maximum. When the central government takes over, it will soon be discovered that these residual tumors will definitely not be able to be solved in three or five years! ”

The more Xiao Ran talked, the more indifferent he became, and as he got to know more and more about the shopping mall, he also had a great understanding of the conspiracy of the British political axe in Hong Kong (please don't defend the British, when the British left Hong Kong, they smashed all these items on the computer before leaving, and Patten even had to take away the chopping board, which can be imagined). He dared to swear that the British sent Chris Patten to be the last term, just in the hope of making a mess and leaving a mess.

The more he listened, the more frightened he became, and Huang Qun understood what Xiao Ran meant after thinking about it carefully. The fear in their hearts is growing stronger, if this really happens, then what they have picked up is no longer an international financial metropolis, but a city that needs a lot of money to come in.

Xiao Ran still sneered, he raised his salary many times in the past few years, what kind of damage this can cause to the economic market, as long as he thinks about it, he will know. Indirectly raise the stock price to the highest point through speculation on housing prices and other methods, and when it reaches the highest point, it is naturally time to collapse. Otherwise, the financial crisis would not have happened, and if it had not been for the mainland's political axe to throw out tens of billions of dollars, Hong Kong's financial sector would have completely collapsed.
